[NRAAM 2023]Kimber’s NEW Double Stack Compact 1911: KDS9C
Eugene L. 04.28.23
The designers from Kimber have brought out their newest 1911 to NRAAM this year. The KDS9C, a compact double stack 9mm 1911, is Kimber’s newest built-from-the-ground-up compact carry piece. The new KDS9c comes with a premium 1:10 LH twist barrel that has a fully fluted length, a 20° Flush-cut deep crown muzzle, and is ramped from the factory. The barrel is made using Kimber’s proprietary bore sizing process to deliver match-grade accuracy with every barrel and shot. The pistol frame is machined from 7075 aluminum and is sculpted to deliver superior ergonomics with etching that wraps around the front strap and grips. Those grips are custom-made gray and black G10 crosshatch grips. The magazine release is reversible on this pistol, which along with an ambidextrous safety makes for easy use for both left and right-handed shooters. The factory trigger on the KDS9C is a crisp 3.5-4.5lb trigger pull. The KDS9c will be available in two colors of KimPro Black and Silver, come with two 15-round magazines, and should start shipping out this August.
